    54 renegade

    Thanks for the reply and info advice. In Idaho I gotta go with full diameter slugs, OK with that. I figure any of them should be effective with a well placed shot on Elk or deer. Just concered about sectional density to go with the slower twist of the Thompson bbl.

    54 renegade

    I have an itch to pick up a .54 renegade, just because of the absense of flacey brass and that they fit me well. I am aware that the twist rate falls somewhere between desireable for either round ball or or conical, not working well for either. I hope the challange of finding a usable length...

    Mid range hunting rifle caliber?

    Check out prices on the shelf. 3006-150g, 270-130g, 308-150g. Once you are proficient with any of the old standards, you may hobby out of the box for grins and giggles. Don't fall for the 50$ a box flash in the pan mythological beasts.

    What is the most impressive 308 battle rifle?

    M1A all the way. My medium bbl stocked in Macmillian with iron sights beat the best of the Spokane swat team's scoped rifles x course to 600 yds.

    I "fixed" my slow barrel!

    My fold out Chrony seems to be sensitive to light direction and overcast vs clear and bright conditions. Still a valuable TOY and I use it nearly every controlled shooting session. I have found R17 to be cold sensitive rather than heat sensitive once my best warm weather load is found. What...

    zero distance for 300savage?

    Go for "0" at 200 yds, then see what happens at 100 and 300 if you have the room. If you can't practice at 300 comfortably, then don't shoot 300. It requires very sensitive trigger control and follow thru. Dont support the steel bbl on table rest. support the stock fore end. Often times a...

    Someone attempted to break into my house!

    I got hit TWICE in SIX WEEKS few years ago. They took two Remington .22's even though I had the bolts removed and locked away. Burglary will never be stopped until we stop burglars. Justice refuses to.
